Mechanical properties of commercial rapid prototyping materials

Purpose – This paper aims to relate to the study of mechanical properties of materials used in rapid prototyping (RP). Design/methodology/approach – Comparison of mechanical properties of commercial RP materials. The study of the literature was the essential source of obtaining the results necessary to complete the evaluations and to determine the property ranges. Findings – Specifications of mechanical properties collected in one paper about mechanical properties and anisotropy enable to define limitations for prototype properties. Research limitations/implications – The study is limited to accessible data concerning materials from manufacturers’ offers. Practical implications – The study is particularly useful in the RP methods application. Originality/value – The obtained study of mechanical properties makes a quick analysis possible. This article also includes the guideline for design engineers, which determines RP method suitability to create functional prototypes of the machines. Mechanical properties of materials have been adopted as a criterion.

Practical Implications

Purpose The purpose of this study is to improve the mechanical properties and reduce the stiffness/harshness of fabric associated with the pigment dyeing of textiles. Design/methodology/approach The fabric was pigment dyed with the addition of three different softeners and binders. The fabric was then analyzed to have improved textile properties by measuring tear strength, bending length, crocking and washing fastness tests. Findings The conventional route of pigment dyeing (without any softener) imparted poor mechanical and rubbing fastness. The softener-added recipe provided better mechanical, rubbing and washing fastness, and the stiffness values were oppressed as well. Practical implications Because of reduced stiffness, increased fastness and mechanical properties, the use of softener with pigment dyeing can improve the market values and satisfaction of the dyed fabrics. The finished product would also have better life and endurance. The process can be modified easily to have a better end-product with a negligible cost addition in industrial process, as softeners are cheap and used in low (10-20 g/l) in industrial settings without affecting the required shades. Originality/value This is the first report, to the best of the author’s knowledge, on the optimization of pigment dyeing of PC fabric with the addition of Helizarin and perapret softeners in dyeing bath.

With the development of 3D printing technology, there is a development in the use of new printing materials. In practice, it often happens that the constructor does not have full data about the material that he wants to use. The article presents the results of tests of tensile strength of samples printed using the FDM method. 3D printing using the FDM method is widespread, however, the properties of the materials used in this method are still not fully understood. The aim of the research was to obtain information on strength parameters that form the basis for further analyzes.
